Art Van Furniture Fort Wayne Shoppers Are Big Winners On Super Football Sunday, Scoring Full Refunds Valued Over $100,000 In Retailer's "Let It Snow" Promotion!
Store's January 17 guests to be reimbursed after Winter Storm Linus drops nine inches of snow on February 1
WARREN, Mich., Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Way to snow! While the New England Patriots won the big game on Sunday, February 1, hundreds of Art Van Furniture shoppers in Fort Wayne celebrated their own victory as participants in the retailer's game changing "Let It Snow" promotion! Winter Storm Linus turned out to be the real MVP for guests of the Midwest's No. 1 furniture and mattress retailer, dropping well over the three inches of snow in Fort Wayne that was needed to ensure that all store purchases made on January 17 would be refunded in full. Eligible guests that touched down at Art Van Furniture on 311 Coliseum Boulevard in Fort Wayne on that date won't pay a penny for their new furniture and mattresses, or for sales tax and delivery charges, valued at over $100,000.
"We threw out the ultimate pass to our guests, the chance to receive their purchases for free, and lucky shoppers caught these incredible furniture and mattress savings," said Art Van Elslander, founder and chairman of Art Van Furniture. "It's a big win for fans of our Fort Wayne store who found a great reason to cheer, instead of jeer, Sunday's snowstorm."
Art Van Furniture guests took to twitter to share their excitement on Sunday as Winter Storm Linus was in full swing. Meg Knight at @MegGKnight tweeted "@artvan best snow day ever. FREE leather couches for my hard working mom and dad!" Cassie Scroggins at @Csillustrated tweeted "@seanhalvorsen @SaraPhi47 can you say free baby furniture. Thanks #Snowmageddon2015 @art van."
The snow total in Fort Wayne on February 1 was nine inches, according to the National Weather Service. Once Art Van Furniture receives official certification from its insurance provider that over three inches of snow fell in each market, winners will receive an email or telephone call with information about their refunds.
Art Van Furniture's "Let It Snow" promotion was also held in Chicago and Toledo, which received 16.2 and 10 inches of snow on February 1, respectively. Nearly 3,000 shoppers participated and approximately $2.5 million will be refunded. No minimum purchase was required. For more information, visit artvan.com.
